حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَهَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ الصِّدْقَ بِرٌّ وَإِنَّ الْبِرَّ يَهْدِي إِلَی الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَحَرَّی الصِّدْقَ حَتَّی يُکْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ صِدِّيقًا وَإِنَّ الْکَذِبَ فُجُورٌ وَإِنَّ الْفُجُورَ يَهْدِي إِلَی النَّارِ وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَحَرَّی الْکَذِبَ حَتَّی يُکْتَبَ کَذَّابًا قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 6638
Abdullah b. Mas'ud reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Telling of truth is a virtue and virtue leads to Paradise and the servant who endeavours to tell the truth is recorded as truthful, and lie is obscenity and obscenity leads to Hell-Fire, and the servant who endeavours to tell a lie is recorded as a liar. Ibn Abu Shaiba reported this from Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ).
